Itinerary
Day 1
Late-afternoon pick-up in Marrakech, transfer to Agafay Desert for a sunset camel ride, haima tea with live music, and return to Marrakech.
Hotel / Riad pick-up in Marrakech Medina
Your driver will meet you at the exit of your hotel or riad in the Marrakech Medina for private pick-up. Confirm your exact pick-up point with your operator in advance; driver holds a sign with your name.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready in the riad lobby 5–10 minutes before 18:00 so pick-up can stay on schedule.
- Have your hotel/riad name and room number available to share with the driver if needed.
- Carry a small backpack with layers; temperatures can drop after sunset.
Drive from Marrakech to Agafay Desert
Private air-conditioned transfer from Marrakech Medina to the Agafay desert. Travel time is planned to arrive before sunset for the camel ride.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect approximately 40–60 minutes' drive depending on the exact pick-up location and traffic.
- Keep your camera ready; you may spot good vantage points during the drive as you approach the rocky plains.
- If you get motion-sick, sit in the front seat and open a window briefly for fresh air.
Sunset 1-hour Camel (Dromedary) Ride
A guided 1-hour dromedary ride across the Agafay desert dunes timed to include sunset viewing. Handlers assist mounting and dismounting; ride follows gentle routes suitable for most guests.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants to reduce rubbing while riding.
- Hold on to the saddle handles and follow the handler's safety instructions when mounting and dismounting.
- Bring a jacket or shawl—desert temperatures can fall quickly after sunset.
Haima: Traditional Mint Tea & Live Musical Show
After the camel ride, relax in a haima (desert tent) to enjoy traditional Moroccan mint tea accompanied by a live musical show. Time allocated for rest, photos, and local hospitality.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring small bills in Moroccan dirhams if you wish to tip performers or hosts; gratuities are not included.
- If you have dietary restrictions, inform your host ahead of time; tea is standard but snacks may vary.
- Respect local customs: ask before photographing performers up close.
Return transfer to Marrakech and drop-off
Private return transfer to your hotel or riad in Marrakech with drop-off in the Medina area to conclude the tour.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm with the driver the exact drop-off point in the Medina to avoid delays navigating narrow streets.
- Carry any personal items you brought to the haima; check seats and footwells before leaving the vehicle.
- If you'd like a later drop-off within Marrakech, request this beforehand so the route can be planned.
